OK, I found the answer by myself :-))

The interrupt service code of mbx8xx BSP was written in assumption that memory 
translation and caching are ON. I decided to turn them OFF for the starting 
phase, but there is some code, which turns them on unconditionally.

Thanks to those who read this. :-))
